What You'll Learn
Get To Know Your RX10 V covers 6 focused modules designed to take you from unboxing to shooting with confidence:
- Module 1 – Setting Up Your Camera: Get your camera ready before your first shot. Learn how to attach the lens hood and strap, charge the NP-FZ100Z battery, and choose the right SD card – including the best capacity and speed ratings for both photos and video.
- Module 2 – Buttons, Dials & Menus: Navigate the RX10 V's controls with confidence. Chelsea walks you through the lens rings, top-panel dials, mode dial options, and key back-panel buttons, plus a practical tour of the menu system and the Function button shortcut menu.
- Module 3 – Your First Photos: Take great photos without memorizing a single setting. Shoot in Auto mode and explore wide-angle macro shots, telephoto compression, Creative Looks, burst shooting, and subject recognition – all while learning how to compose creatively and review your shots in playback.
- Module 4 – Action Photos: Capture fast-moving subjects like a pro with Chelsea's personal wildlife photography setup. Configure Shutter Priority, Auto ISO, continuous burst, and Sony's AI-powered real-time subject recognition – plus learn how to save it all to a custom mode dial preset for one-click access in the field.
- Module 5 – Video: Get up and running with video on the RX10 V. Choose your file format, enable Active stabilization, use subject detection while recording, and turn on Auto Framing to track and reposition yourself in the frame when filming solo.
- Module 6 – Accessing Your Photos: Get your images off the camera and onto your devices three ways – wirelessly via Sony's Creators' Cloud app, over USB-C with Sony's Imaging Edge software, or with an SD card reader.
